Developed by a partnership of organisations hosted by NSUN (the National Survivor User Network) within a mental health context, these standards are universally relevant to involvement and co-production in all areas of health and social care. They are designed to ‘hard wire’ the service user and carer voice and experience into the planning, delivery and evaluation of health and care services. The 4PI framework focus on: principles, including respect, inclusivity, transparency, equality and diversity; purpose of involvement, which needs to be both clear and shared with all of the people who are engaged in the involvement activity; presence, of both service users and carers; process, which needs to be carefully planned and thought through, in order to ensure that service users and carers can make the best possible contribution; and impact, making sure involvement leads to the improvement of services and the mental health and wellbeing of service users and carers.

A draft education and training framework, commissioned by the Department of Health, which sets out the core skills and knowledge which the health and care workforce need to apply in order to deliver quality mental health services. It aims to describe common skills and knowledge that are transferable across different types of service provision. Specialist skills and knowledge are outside the scope of the framework. The framework will determine the minimum standard for mental health education and training and help to measuring if education and training satisfies these standards. The core skills and knowledge are defined at 3 levels: Level 1: knowledge for roles that require general mental health awareness; Level 2: knowledge and skills for roles that will have some regular contact with people with mental health issues; and Level 3: knowledge and skills for those working with/caring for people with mental health needs. The framework includes expected learning outcomes, and will be aligned to relevant quality and regulatory standards. It will be applicable to health and care employers and also educational organisations which train students who will be employed in the health and car workforce. The framework is being developed in parallel with a similar framework for learning disabilities. (Edited publisher abstract)

This Concordat is a shared statement of commitment, endorsed by senior leaders from the organisations most heavily involved in responding to mental health crisis. It commits signatories to work together and to intervene early, if possible, to reduce the likelihood of people presenting a risk of harm to themselves or others because of a mental health condition deteriorating to such a crisis point. The Concordat is structured around: access to support before crisis point; urgent and emergency access to crisis care, (whilst using the least restrictive options) by both face-to-face and ‘hear and treat’ services; quality treatment and care when in crisis; and recovery from crisis and staying well in the future. A key part of this approach are new proposals to reduce the use of police custody for people suffering with mental health problems, ensuring that people with suspected mental health issues who are detained under the Mental Health Act are assessed within three hours and not be held in police custody for more than 12 hours.
